Comics 937 and 938: Cancer Comics!
So sorry for the delay, I was out of town.
937. Randy recently discovered that average user ratings are not always reliable. Shocking development, I know.
938. Cancer Comics returns! This time he's trying to make a funny, I guess? It's pretty bad, and not at all informative. It becomes increasingly clear the only reason he let everyone know about the cancer is not so he could Express His Pain but because his usual Wikipedia routine had suddenly become exclusively cancer-oriented, and he wanted to make sure people understood why he had a sudden fixation on cancer.
Also, what the fuck is with the art here? Every head in this comic is hideously misshapen, way more than normal. This is on top of the usual floating heads, heads that have been impaled on the neck, etc. And we have a guy who is standing there with a laptop and asking a dude without a laptop what the deal is with . . . the thing he's reading on the laptop?

ReplyDeleteAnd by chemo, I mean Carl.
seriously how many of you fucks are here statr a thread in gd something
ReplyDeletei did it again :(
ReplyDeletegd is not nearly hateful enough to contain xkcdsucks. even the codex itself may be insufficient
ReplyDeletelast i saw even kc, man of no taste, couldnt' bear xkcd. it may be that he though tit was too 'high brow' and was just trying to be common
ReplyDeleteAs much as this pains me to say Timofei, I agree with you. A broad spectrum antibiotic would do this place a world of good.
ReplyDeleteSepsis is no laughing matter.

ReplyDelete37 posts, and not a single one worth reading. Timofei's was the only one even worth the effort of skimming over. So this blog has finally turned to shit, huh?

ReplyDeleteInnit?
The misshapen heads are because everyone in the comic has massive cranial tumors, hence their own cancer fixation.

ReplyDeleteInnit?
imma go play age of empires 2 now have fun y'all
ReplyDeleteThe only quality posters in this blog have uncapitalised names. Everyone else is being pretentious as fuck. I'm looking at you, Timofei, Scott, and ALTF.
ReplyDeletehey
ReplyDeleteCancer comic has a competent punchline - and topical! When was the last time that happened? It just falls flat by spending forever to get to it ...Okay, that's an understatement: panel 3 has all the superfluous words you should expect from an xkcd comic, and the first two panels are each twice that long and contain not so much botched setup as much as an old-school angsty livejournal rant.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, stretch the last panel out across four panels and you've got a decent (I wouldn't subscribe based on it, but it's a more than acceptable filler) comic.
1 - "Okay, so I have blood cells growing out of control, so you're going to give me different blood cells that /also/ grow out of control?"
2 - "Yes, but it's okay, because we treated /this/ blood with HIV!"
3 - (a pregnant pause is something you'd never see in an xkcd strip.)
4 - "Are you sure you're a doctor?" "Almost definitely."
Randall has added some text to 938, an already way-too-lengthy comic. Yet he didn't take the time to give his poor stick self a neck in frame 2.
ReplyDelete@Ajax loading gif 5:48: We try.
I went ahead and actually made the comic as I described above. http://i.imgur.com/cAnHK.png
ReplyDeleteFunnier than the comic itself is switching tabs back and forth between it and the original.
(Also, if you see this crossposted to reddit, he didn't steal it. That's me.)
I hate people jumping on the Emma Watson bandwagon recently. I had the hots for her super bad from way back when it could have been arrested. That's true love. That's the attraction of a soul mate. These others who never had interest in her before she bloomed into a woman, they don't know her. They don't understand her like I do.

ReplyDeleteBertie, you're just bitter because the searches take longer now.

ReplyDelete".....pretentious as fuck. I'm looking at you, Timofei, Scott, and ALTF....."
I dare not answer for those who would capitalise all, or part, of their appellation(s), but for me, I am fuckingly pretentsious as fuck.
It's pretentious, you dumb bitch. Learn to spell.
ReplyDeleteBertie Hummer, you are just like a Twilight character and I respect you for admitting it.
ReplyDeleteIf one is truly pretentsious, one includes a superfluous letter or two for the sake of posterity.
ReplyDeletePanel 3 of 938 makes the characters look like they have really tiny legs.
ReplyDelete"....There were widespread reports of organised looting with rioters sometimes queuing to take goods away....."
ReplyDeleteQueuing looters? How distinctly British.
Innit?
A true class war has the oppressed queu[e]ing up to pillage from the oppressors.
ReplyDeleteRather than the proletariat vs the bourgeoisie, this has been more the lumpen vs the proletariat. Under a welfare state, the lack of demand for labour results in unemployment and income support rather than low wages. So the downtrodden have no means of production to fight for.
tl;dr the early C20 anarchists were philosophically consistent to target charitable causes.
What would you know of it? You've never lived in Britain. It's pretty obvious to me, as a Glaswegian. No actual inhabitant of the Isles would say British when they mean English, see? I can tell you're using the "innit" and the cheap imitations of English slang ironically, but it just makes you out to be a total card to anyone actually living in the U.K. You can parrot "the Queen's English" all you want, but that doesn't make us like you more. In fact a lot of the people I know would look down upon you for trying so hard to act English when you're not. I hope you know that.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Any Englishman would laugh at the notion of a Scot observing a queue.
ReplyDeleteBut Irishmen have been taught what a queue is. As long as it's against a wall.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would re-build Hadrian's Wall - keep the Neds out!
ReplyDelete"....No actual inhabitant of the Isles would say British when they mean English,...."
What would they say if they meant Engerland?
"....You can parrot "the Queen's English" all you want, but that doesn't make us like you more....."
Will it make you like me less?
"...In fact a lot of the people I know would look down upon you for trying so hard to act English when you're not. I hope you know that....."
Don't tease me - I do so hate a tease.
@ Anonymous 10:19 AM,
Nyuck, nyuck!
"....It's pretty obvious to me, as a Glaswegian....."
ReplyDeleteOh dear the prating palaver of it all.
Then let us pray that come it may,
(As come it will for a' that,)
For a' that, an' a' that,
It's coming yet for a' that,
That Cunt to Cunt, the world o'er,
Shall Scotties be for a' that.
Rob's reviews have become as slapdash and predictable as the comic.
ReplyDeleteGaze long into the abyss, my friend.
Anon 11am, noone actually reads the reviews.
ReplyDelete@11:00 the purpose of this blog is to poke ALTF so she dances for us.
ReplyDeleteI do not, shut the fuck up.
ReplyDeletenoone is funny.
ReplyDeleteAnd do I ever dance well!
ReplyDelete@ Ann Apolis,
That is not true, I skim them looking for the naughty bits. Like reading the poetry of Catullus - both slip in the odd irrumabo now and again.
Now and again? As any one nose, Catullus was as subtle as a Carry-On.
ReplyDeleteAnon 11am, noone actually reads the reviews.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if people cared about actual reviews, we'd probably have a much bigger crowd over at XKCD SUCKS.
Ah well.
What you have is quality, dearest Gamey One, that beats quantity any day!
ReplyDeleteBigger crowds inevitably lead to sanitation problems - best to avoid them.
I loved 'Carry On... Up the Khyber'.
Since when shameless plug suddenly became okay?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's okay.
It never was. But how am I going to get viewers except by leeching off a more popular blog?
ReplyDeleteagain?
ReplyDeleteDearest Gamey One,
ReplyDeleteIf you provide quality, viewers will find you. Mouse traps and beaten paths and all that.
Dearest The ALTF Concatenate,
Fill 'er up.
I am gone until Saturday and what transpires here until then is of absolutely no concern of mine.
When the comment section is long and boring (everyday, amirite?) I only read Rob's posts, for their hatred is all that fills me with joy. Rob, where the fuck are you in this thread? God knows your girth couldn't have just vanished suddenly.
ReplyDeleteIt could if he had cancer.
ReplyDeleteI actually found 938 tolerable, I must be losing my mind. Probably too many ponies.
@ann, @anon11:23
ReplyDeletenoone has enjoyed visiting this site for quite some time
at least randall can take pride in knowing that he is now the author of the most cancerous webcomic on the internet
FUCKING BOOMERANG
ReplyDelete@anon 9:02
ReplyDeleteI think you're the only one who actually looked at panel 3
There was a time when we would have gotten an enjoyable tirade about how 937 is the same joke as the ebay-bobcat one (no, I'm not going to look up the number), now with less funny.
ReplyDeleteThat time is clearly past. This blog is lame now. Fuck you, Rob.
